Maybe Bowe wouldnt be such a bad idea after all, given the apparent lack for a big, downfield threat in the the first round. I mean, if the price is right, its certainly should be explored. Then again, if Simpson and Harvin both get big money extensions, it may not be a great idea to spend a significant amount of free agent money on a another WR.

Obviously using free agency to upgrade a part of the team would provide more flexibility on draft day, especially if the team can focus on adding more youth and talent to the defense.

If you had to chose between Te'o and Greenway, Te'o would win every time. Watch him play this year. Early on I considered him a 3-4 inside thumper. Watching him in coverage this year he is everywhere on the field. I was high on Keuchly last year, and higher on Te'o this year.

I think this is an unfair direct comparison.
Are you comparing prime Greenway to prime Te'o?
Current/Future Greenway to current/future Teo.

Its not like if we drafted Te'o, he would be replacing Greenway now anyway.

That's not what I was getting at. Right now Greenway is our only 3 down LB, and he's not a great nickel LB at that. Te'o would immediately be the best LB on the team and improve the defense in many ways. We shouldn't be talking about getting by in an area that we have been gashed for years if the solution to that problem is drafting a high impact LB like Te'o. This guy to me has the potential for a Willis type impact on this team._________________

If next years draft started like this; excellent job Rick. I am probably higher on Vaccaro than most, but this guy is versatile and can do multiple things, a lot like Harrison, and I would be excited to get him in the second round.
I think Da'Rick goes in the second, like Janoris Jenkins of last year. The kid is extremely talented, the question is, which coach will take a chance on him and be able to keep him out of trouble? So far, Fisher is doing a good job and looking like a genius with the Jenkins pick._________________
